Help Out The Documentary “Jabbed” – Did You Survive Polio, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, MMR?

If you’ve listened to the Token Skeptic podcast, you might have caught a fairly recent double-interview episode, #111 – On How Now You See Her – where the second person interviewed was the director Sonya Pemberton of Genepool Productions.

Do you remember the Rubella epidemic of 1962-65? Were babies in your neighbourhood born with congenital blindness or deafness that year?

Were you unlucky enough to be confined at home for the summer of 1964 because your mother was terrified that you’d catch Polio playing with your friends? Do you remember being confined in an infectious diseases ward as a ‘carrier’ of diphtheria or did you lose a sibling to the ‘strangling angel of children’?

‘Genepool Productions’ seeks people over the age of fifty to share their stories of growing up in a time when vaccine preventable disease was the norm. We would love to hear and film your story for both a national archive and an international television documentary called ‘Jabbed‘. We will be filming in Melbourne, Sydney, London and Philadelphia through May & June 2012.

If you have stories of vaccine preventable disease, please contact Faye Welborn before 22nd of May on: +61 2 9326 9922 or +61 424732887 or Faye (at) genepoolproductions.com
